WILLIAM A. CAMPBELL, OF KENTON, OHIQ.

NURSING-STOVE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VVILLIAM A. CAMP- BELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kenton, in the county of Hardin and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Nursing-Stove, of which the following is a specification.

The improvements relate to the original disclosures of my application for a nursery heating and drying apparatus, which was filed August 16, 1905, Serial No. 274,384, upon which the new matter has been added, and consists in the disclosure of an adjustable collar damper, G, surrounding the lower portion of the body or casing A; of a slidable cover C, for an opening in the convex surface of said body, A, and handles upon the said body; of a modified form of a removable heat off-take for the discharging end of body A as disclosed in the said application.

The object and nature of the invention are the same as originally disclosed in the said application and being especially designed for use in combination with oil or spirit lamps, and gas burners; and to provide a nursing contrivance whereby all the various uses of heat required can be quickly and practically applied.

The invention consists in the novel combination of the interchangeable arrangement of the parts designed to suit the various purposes and uses of heat, as will be hereinafter fully set forth and pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of the specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the contrivance illustrating it with a circular distributing off-take arranged for heating water, food and air. 2 is a side elevation of the contrivance, illustrating it with a semi-cylindrical heat distributing off-take arranged for drying hair and clothing. Fig. 3 is a front elevation and sectional view of the contrivance, illustrating the parts arranged for applying heat to a patient. Fig. 4 is a top view of the contrivance, shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a top view of the semicylindrical heat distributing off-take, illustrating it perforated. Fig. 6 is a sectional elevation of the body or cas- Specification of Letters Patent.

ing with a longitudinal sectional view of the semi-cylindrical heat distributing offtake. Fig. 7 is a plan view illustrating the off-take B in Fig. 1 perforated. Fig. 8 is an end view of off-take B illustrating it perforated in Figs. 3 and 4.

In the practical construction of my nursing contrivance, the same consists of light sheet metal with the several parts designed for being readily and interchangeably connected to suit the specific requirement desired. This nursing contrivance essentially embodies a detachable heat ofi-take formed with a flanged heat intake and perforated discharge, detachable flue sections and a body or casing, which latter may be fitted over an oil or spirit lamp or a gas burner. The interchangeable nature of the contrivance being the said detachable oif-take, which is adapted to be detachably connected directly with the discharge end of the body or casing, or indirectly by means of the said detachable flue sections, which are adapted to cooperate with the discharge end of said body or casing and the heat lntake of the detachable off-take, by which the position of the perforated surface of the heat offtake with respect to the discharge end of the body or casing may be changed, and the distributing element used for the purposes required.

In the preferred and improved construction of my nursing contrivance, I employ a shell like body, preferably a. cylindrical casing indicated at A, open at its top and its bottom, and having means H, whereby the bottom is held sufficiently above the floor to provide for a proper in-feed of air, the amount of which may be regulated by an adjustable collar damper, indicated by Gr, which surrounds the lower portion of the said casing A, and the collar having a spring fastening shown at I, whereby the collar may be adjusted and secured to perforations in the casing shown by L in Fig. 2. The casing is also provided with an opening in the convex surface whereby access may be had to adjust the flame of a burner over which the casing may be placed, and this opening having at its edges side strips, which form guideways indicated at K, into which a cover C is slidably adjusted. This casing A is provided with handles shown at J and a detachable heat distributing off-take formed with a flanged heat intake indicated at M asso /7 and perforated discharge shown at N. Said nit-take is adapted to be fitted over the top of the casing and being detachable, oil-takes or different terms may be interchangeably employed, illustrated by B, B and the flue section E, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 6 of the drawings. Intermediate detachable tine sections are shown by the letters D, E, E and F, which are adapted to cooperate with the open top of the casing and the flanged heat intake of the distributing olitalte whereby the position of its perforated surface may be ci'ianged, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings.

The operative arrangements of the stove are as follows: VVh-en a direct and a greater degree of heat is needed to warm water, food and air, the oti-talre B is employed for the top oi. casing, shown in Fig, 1; and when a greater heat surface is required for drying; the hair or clothing; of a patient the otlf-talte B being removed, the oft-take B may be alternately employed thereon; and when heat is desired to warm a bed or to apply heatto a patient, the cit-take B is removed and the oit'--tal e E of flue section is employed with other intermediate detachable tlue sections D, E and 13, which are adapted to cooperate with the top of the easing and the heat intake oi? the distributing oft-take by which the position of its perforated surface may be changed and the distributing element from a generating burner may be discharged, as shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings.

lI-Iaving thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. in a nursing stove of the nature described, in combination with body or casing, open at its top and at its bottom, means for supporting the said body above the floor to term an air space; of an adjustable collar damper surrounding the lower portion of the said body, said damper provided with a sprin fastening and arranged to control the admission of air into the said space, said body adapted to be set over a heat source; of a detachable heat distributing off-take formed with a flanged heat in-talre and perforated discharge for the top of the said body, said ofi-talie being removable whereby off-takes of ditt'erent forms may be interchangeably employed for the purposes as substantially set forth.

2. In a nursing stove of the nature described, in combination with a body or casing open at its top and at its bottom and the convex surtace provided with an opening and guideways, means for supporting the said body above the floor to form an air space; said body adapted to be set over a heat source; of a slidable cover for the openin in the convex surface of the said body, id cover fitted in guide-ways and arranged to admit of access to regulate the flame of a burner; an adjustable collar damper surrounding the lower portion of the said body arranged to regulate admission air into the said space; or" a detachable heat oft-take formed *ith a flanged heat intake and perforated discharge, and intern'iediate removable tlue sections adapted to cooperate with the discharge end of the said body and the flanged intake of the said distributing eittalre, by which the distributing element may be conducted indirectly tl'irough the said flue sections and whereby the position of the periterated surface of the said oiii-talte with respect to the said body may be changed for the purposes, substantially set forth.

In a nursing; stove of the nature described, in combination with a body or casing open at its top and at its bottom and the convex surface provided with an opening and guideways, means for supporting the said body above the floor to for n an air space, an adjustable collar damper provided with a spring fastening bar having one end bent to form a pin, said damper surrounding the lower portion oi? the said body, said portion being perforated into which the pin of the said fastening; may be inserted to secure the adjustment of the said damper by means of the said perforation in. the said body, a cover for an opening: in the said )ody and a detachable heat distributing oftalre for the top of said body; of a heat gencrating" burner, said burner being removable whereby burners of different forms may be interchangeably employed as a heat source, as substantially set forth.
